Identity Politics Enter Into PA Senate Race, Who’s At Fault?
Today, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by giving some highlights of last night’s Senate debate between candidates vying to fill the soon-to-be vacant seat left after Senator Pat Toomey’s upcoming retirement. First, Giordano expresses his frustration with the moderators of the debate, telling that he agrees with the notion shared by all the candidates on the stage, calling out the biased questioning centered on the 2020 election.
Barnette calls out the moderator, noting that none of the Democratic candidates have been asked similar questions, with Giordano explaining why this point is an important one to make when discussing the debate. Then, Giordano reveals that he’s posted another fire poll on Twitter asking listeners who they’d vote for if the election were tomorrow, telling that Kathy Barnette continues to dominate listener polls, and pontificates why she continues to rise in popularity. After that, Giordano plays back an argument between Carla Sands and Kathy Barnette, after saying for the second night in a row that Barnette continues to play the race card in her campaign. Dom takes umbrage with the continued reliance on identity politics, and plays back a clip from another candidate, Sean Gale, who doubled down on what Sands was saying about Barnette’s reliance on her race. Dom’s comments on Gale prompt the candidate to call into the show, which turns into a discussion over whether Gale’s attacks on Barnette are fair, with Gale lamenting that Dom seemingly supports Barnette, even though he’s never offered an endorsement for the candidate.
Then, Dr. Mehmet Oz, candidate of U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, returns to the Dom Giordano Program to discuss multiple issues playing out in the Senate campaign. First, Dr. Oz compliments Giordano for the compelling radio debate with Sean Gale prior to joining the show, with Giordano asking for Oz’s thoughts on the racial attacks levied against Barnette, with Oz coming to Barnette’s defense. Then, Giordano asks Oz about his track record of attendance at debates, asking why Oz missed last night’s debate, with Oz telling that he had a long-standing prior commitment he needed to attend instead. Then, Giordano and Dr. Oz delve into the issues most important to Pennsylvanians, particularly the effects of Coronavirus edicts on education, and the Progressive push to cancel student loan debt.
Personal Attacks Take Over PA U.S. Senate Debate
In today’s second hour, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by continuing the discussion from the first hour, taking calls from listeners discussing the debate last night between some of Pennsylvania’s Republican candidates for United States Senate.
Then, George Bochetto, one of the candidates at last night’s Senate debate, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss what he had hoped to portray in the debate. First, Giordano asks Bochetto to expand on his comments made about mail-in voting during the debate, calling attention to the questionable nature of drop boxes in the 2020 election and the role that Act 77, ushered in by Senate competitors, had on weakening voter integrity.
Bochetto tells that we need to throw out the debate about mail-in balloting and drop boxes, reverting to the Pennsylvania constitution that notes that a person must only vote for themselves, showing identification, in hopes to strengthen elections moving forward. Bochetto tells that he believes this debate will end up in Supreme Court, telling of a potential fix if Act 77 is deemed unconstitutional, explaining what he would do to help aid this if elected United States Senator. Then, Giordano asks Bochetto about the attacks levied between candidates in the Senate race, particularly between Carla Sands and Kathy Barnette, telling that the media seems to only focus on attacks rather than solutions, and tells that he believes the office is above the beefing.
Lehigh DA Martin Tells Why No Prosecutions for Voter Fraud; DirecTV Refuses Advertisements for New Film 'Rigged'
To lead off today’s final hour, Dom welcomes Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin back onto the Dom Giordano Program for an update on a situation centered on mail-in balloting in his County. Last time Martin joined, Giordano grilled Martin over his decision to not prosecute multiple alleged incidents of voters depositing more than 1 ballot into drop boxes in the recent election. Martin explains that, while the county will not prosecute the incidents caught on camera, he would like to make the law clear to voters, telling what he and his County will do in future elections to strengthen security. Among other ideas, Martin hopes to add plainclothes officers into polling places to ensure that people don’t submit multiple ballots. Also, Martin tells why he’s against drop boxes and mail-in ballots, telling the difficulties that arise for his office due to the gray area presented by the initiative.
Then David Bossie, longtime advisor to former President Donald Trump and President of Citizens United, returns to the Dom Giordano Program to reveal that television networks and companies such a DirecTV have refused to air advertising for his new film Rigged, which delves into Mark Zuckerberg’s role in the 2020 Presidential election. Bossie points out that those who continually spiked any story investigating the past election are continuing their trend, now refusing to even show advertisements for films that do the job that they refuse to do. Bossie explains the premise of Rigged, which traces the astronomical amount of $400 million that Zuckerberg infused into the election to tip the scales in favor of Joe Biden. Giordano asks Bossie to wear his strategic hat, asking whether it’s beneficial to focus on the 2020 election rather than looking forward to 2024, with Bossie explaining the importance of educating the American people so that voters can know what to look out for in future elections.
